far as the Mouse river before coming up to
it. Losing their way they had to lay out
two nights in the snow and for two days ex-
ist without any food. They nearly psrishsd.
Young Kinley had his feet badly frozen. -
What enegy, perseverance and hopefulness.
can accomplish were beautifully illustrated
BY what tns Methodist ladies did at the baa-
kct social last Friday evening. It would
seem that each occasion is better than its
predecessor. for in this case the Methodists
have eclipsed al previous attempts and
eforts- to extract the dollars. For 4 6nancial
success the Methodist basket social takes the
three story cake, frosting and all. Mesdames
Parker, Emde, Syer, Carver, Heard and the
Misses Dana labored asiduously in the good
cause, while to Mrs. Harvey is accorded :
full need of praise for being the means Of
contributing about seventeen dollars TO the
fund which altogether realized seventy eight
